Saw this article this morning and wondered what people thought of it. Apparently anyone outside without a signed permission form that says they are outside with an essential 'reason' will be fined. There are certain things that are allowed and nothing else. Pretty major lock down. Will we see that here in the States and Canada?

In the end there will only be three things that matter. How much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of the things not meant for you. The BuddhaMorality comes not from a book, or a guy up in the sky, but from the idea that how you treat people matters, because how people feel matters. Unknown.

We've been warned here in Nevada that if there are complaints aboutpeople not respecting the legitimate reasons for being out of thehouse, that the National Guard is ready to start policing them.People seem to think that as long as they feel good that theydeserve to go anywhere and do anything they please, when theyare just as likely as the next person to be spreading the stuff.

Trudeau has warned that he will do whatever it takes which would be martial law. Seems to me his dad was in power when he declared martial law wasn't he? I would have to look that up.

Pierre Trudeau used a similar measure during the terrorist attacks of the Front de libération du Québec (FLQ).The suspension bridge in Quebec opened about that time and was named Pont Pierre LaPorte in honor of themurdered government minister.

Yes I thought it was his dad that did that. FLQ days I just barely remember, but I do remember them. I had not heard of martial law at that age.

It wasn't really called martial law -- some other term. But it warned people that normal freedom of movement was restricted to accommodate anti-terrorist activities. It workedquite successfully. I remember it quite well.
